In information security, computer science, and other fields, the principle of least privilege (PoLP), also known as the principle of minimal privilege (PoMP) or the principle of least authority (PoLA), requires that in a particular abstraction layer of a computing environment, every module (such as a process, a user, or a program, depending on the subject) must be able to access only the ...
Separation of privilege: Where feasible, a protection mechanism that requires two keys to unlock it is more robust and flexible than one that allows access to the presenter of only a single key.

In computer programming and computer security, privilege separation (privsep) is one software-based technique for implementing the principle of least privilege. [1] [2] With privilege separation, a program is divided into parts which are limited to the specific privileges they require in order to perform a specific task. This is used to ...

It's meant to inspire discussion of which privileges are appropriate, and to help those who aren't security professionals understand how the security ...

Often, there are many different states with the same minimum utility. For example, a state with utility profile (0,100,100) has the same minimum value as a state with utility profile (0,0,0). In this case, the egalitarian rule often uses the leximin order , that is: subject to maximizing the smallest utility, it aims to maximize the next ...
